OTTO REICHELS, OF MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE, ASSIGNOR TO GEORGE E. DORION AND FREDERICK A. \VITTICII, BOTH OF SAME PLACE.

LAMP-EXTINGUISHER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 404,055, dated May 28, 1889.

. Application filed Apn'l 11, 1888.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, OTTO REIGHELS, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, residing at Memphis, in the county of Shelby and State of Tennessee, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamp-Extinguishers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention has for its object to provide an improved lamp and a supporting-tablet specially adapted thereto.

To this end my invention consists in the construction and combination of parts hereinafter particularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a vertical section of a lamp embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a plan view of the same, the globe and reflector having been removed. Fig. 3 represents an enlarged detail sectional view of the burner and adjacent parts. Fig. 4 represents a detail view similarly enlarged, at right angles to Fig. 3, of one end of the bent rod 6, hereinafter described, and its supporting-rod d. Fig. 5 represents a side elevation of the supporting-tablet folded, its extended position being shown by dotted lines. Fig. 6 represents a plan view of the same; and Fig. 7 represents a vertical section of the lamp and its recessed stand, the former being on the latter, with its ball in the recess.

A designates the base of the lamp; B, the casing thereon O, the globe, secured by screws 0 to a collar, b, at the top of said casing. Just below this collar the said casing is enlarged to form an annular offset, 13, having in it holes I) for the admission of air. Just below this offset a horizontal partition, D, extends across the interior of said casing and is secured at its periphery thereto. A similar partition, E, is similarly arranged and secured in the lower part of said casing. An oil-receptacle, F, extends from one of said partitions to the other. The said partitions are provided with holes a e and ff, corresponding in position, through which passes the stirrup-shaped rod g, the lower part of which extends through a bail, G, the latter being mov- Serial No. 270,321. (No model.)

able upward and downward through the open middle part of base A as said rod 9 moves ward and downward through said holes in said partitions. The upper partition, D, has also a central opening, which is provided with a rigid vertical bushing, II. This latter engages with an externally-screw-threaded enlargement, 'i, of a wick-tube, I, inclosing the iek J The upper end of this wick-tube reeeives a leeve, K, that rises above the top of th i k, and has radial arms is is, extending fro it i opposite directions. Hooks g on th d f rod 9 catch over these rods.

Th i ht of ball G operates to draw down th d the rods 10 7c, and the sleeve K, whi h i vable both vertically and axially on th i kd ube Whenever the lamp is raised i th h d, thereby exposing the entire end -t th b n G will be forced upward thereby with the revers effect- In order that he lamp may burn with its full brilliancy although set down, I employ a supporting-tablet, M, consisting of a central part an and two SldG parts, m Hi hinged 130 this central part. When these side parts are folded on the top of he main part m, their free ends are in proximity to each other over the middle of said main part. These free ends are correspondingly recessed to form a space, a, into which the weight G may descend.

When the wick-tube has been screwed into the fixed sleeve secured to the upper partition, the movable sleeve K is slipped on the upper end of said wick-tube and turned, as indicated by the arrows in Fig. 2, until the rods 70 7c engage the hooks g.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A lamp having a vertically-moving ball extending through the bottom thereof, in combination with a sleeve vertically movable over the upper end of the wick-tube, and a connection between said ball and said sleeve for causing the said sleeve to extinguish the lamp when the latter is set down on a plane 10 surface, substantially as set forth.

2. A ball, G, and curved rod g, connected therewith, in combination with a casin g, B, partitions 'D E, attached to said casing and perforated for the passage of said rod,a movable sleeve surrounding the upper end of the wick-tube, and arms 70 70', extending outward from said sleeve to engage hooks g on the ends of said curved rod, said ball being ver tically movable through the base of said casing, substantially as set forth. i

3. A lamp having a sleeve movable over the upper part of the Wick-tube, a ball movable through the base of the lamp-casing, and

connecting devices between said sleeve and said Weight, whereby the former moves wlth the latter, in combination with a support hav- 1 5 ing a recess to allow the downward motion of said ball, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

OTTO REIGHELS.
